With the bursts of florals in soft, delightful colors, you would think Spring had sprung! Instead, Margot Languedoc of The Pattern Basket's Blushing collection has breezed in, filling our shop with the sight of Spring. Margot has specially selected 12 prints from her Blushing collection along with 3 coordinating basics for this special bundle. Margot is here today to tell us a little more, so read on for a dose of Springtime beauty!

Q: What inspired you to pick the colors and designs in your Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle?
A:
I selected 12 prints and 3 coordinating prints that I thought would look beautiful in a quilt and had a good range of colors and patterns from Blushing.

Q: What are 3 words you would choose to describe this collection?
A: 1. Apple Blossoms
2. Spring
3. Pretty

2 Truths and a Lie
1. I love florals and use them in many of my quilt patterns.
2. I never design quilt patterns with my own fabric collections.
3. There are 21 prints in Blushing.

Number 3 is false, there are 12 prints and 3 solids in the Blushing collection. But, I have to add this: I LOVE what I see here! This is what I want to use in place of some of the 1930's prints that I have been using and in addition to them. Just the breath of fresh air for springtime quilting!

I am a little stumped on this one! I think it is number two-though her patterns covers do usually showcase her fabrics, perhaps she doesn't actually make them with it the first time?Thanks for introducing me to a new designer! Just checked out her blog--LOVE!!! Beautiful colors and fabrics--perfect for my home.

number 2 is false. If you look at the whole line there are 21 prints. She just picked out the 15 for a fat quarter bundle. I would love to win this collection because I think it would make such a beautiful quilt. I love the colors and prints.

Number 3 is false. It said there are 15 prints in the text above, but who wouldn't want to design a quilt with these fabrics! Such delicate patterns and the colors are good enough to eat! What a wonderful selection and thanks for the chance at the giveaway!

I think #2 is false... If you go to the fat quarter shop.. There are 21 Prints in Blushing (Cheerfully Blushing, Lightly Blushing and Sweetly Blushing~ Greens, blues and pinks and then out of those three collections created a fat quarter bundle of 12 prints and 3 coordinating fabrics to make 15)
